Gambling in Mexico.

A short distance from the church

great national vice gambling. The
strange, harsh cries of those who have
charge of the games, as they call out the
details Of stakes to be offered and the
result Of each deal and play, are posi-
lively repulsive. The group Of players
in each booth comprises men, women,
and even children, Of every class, in
about the proportion III which the
several classes exist in the country.
There are small stakes and large ones,
and the variety Of games by which the
appeal 10 chance is made seems endless.

and though they watch the games very
closely, and, if their money lasts, play
sometimes all night long, there Is none

A Quiet Stream.

A quiet stream
Flowed through a level meadow-al dav long
lbs voice was he a~d in murmurous meIoIv.
That half a whisper seemed, and half a )ng-
Tot no one paused TO hear its harmony.
Or marked the brightness of its sunny CLEAN.
But where its course
Was half arrested by the rugged stone
It swelIed and bubbled till with new born
power
It leaPed the barrier, all its weakness gone
It's spray ascending in a silvery shower,
Us onward way pursued with added force.
Its beauty then
The artist praised, the poet sang, until
Came many to admire the pretty scene,
Half marwelling at the strength Of such a.
A silver ribbon parting banks of green,
Swift aS an arrow, deeper than their ken.

Hen Commits Suicidn.

A Sumter, (Ga.) woman owned a
guinea hen that wanted to sit; she had
her nest broken up. She filled another
and persisted in sitting, but her owner
had determined otherwise, and again
broke up the nest. The poor fowl
looked on sorrowfully and saw her ma
ternal hopes blighted, turned, with a
dropping head, walked up to the well,
flew up to the curbing, and then plunged
head foremost into the deep waters be-
low When they got her out she was

New Cad is Riding at West Point.

Mounting the stairs to the gallery, we
look down upon large space strcwn
with tanbark, at one end Of which is a
row of some twenty horses with water
ing brides. Soon the performers file in
and come to a halt in front of the horses
Do they intend to ride only with the
watering bride, without even saddle or
blankct2 They will try to, at all events.
The instructor commands:
"Stand to horseI Prepare to mount.
Mount"
In obedience to his command the Ca
diets spring, struggle, leap, and kick in
their endeavors to bcstrde their steeds
The moment they are mounted several
horses develop astonishing bucIling pro-
pensities, to the anguish of their riders
and the delight of the gallery Now
they start around the hall at u walk.
1t seems rather tame, doesn't it? But
soon the command 'trot' is given, and
the fun begins. The poor fellows bounce
about on the horses backs like India
rubber boys, and wabbIe from side to side
like jumping jacks. The trot is accelerate
ed, the horses take the gallop, and dash
around the hall, tumbling their riders in
heaps at the corners, while those who by
chance are still mounted grasp frantical-
ly at their horses names. Finally, the
gait is reduced to a walk; line is formed
the dismounted yearlings, nothing daunt-
ed, catch their horses and remount, and
then the performance is repeated -[St

A Fight in n Bear Pit.

BY fight which occurred recently
among the bears in the pit at the Too
logical Garden, one of the number,
Bessie, black cub presented to the gar
den by parties who had captured it in
the mountains of Western Pennsylvania
year ago, was 50 badly injured that she
died before her antagonist could be
driven off. She had been recently
placed in the pit, in which were two
black bears, a Russian bear and a grizzly.
How the fight began it is not known,
but when Keeper Harrison was called to
the scene Bessie was getting the worst
of the fight. The keeper seized a heavy
iron scraper and cndcavOred to beat off
Bessie's assailants, when he was attacked
by Danger, the grizzly, and would prob
ably have been killed had it not been for
the prompt arrival of Head Keeper
Byrne and Keepers Ford, Shannon and
Murphy, who, armed with stout clubs,
entered the pit and beat the animals into
submission. The fight of the bears and
rescue of Harrison was witnessed by
several visitors to the garden, who de-
scribed the scene as thrilling. Harrison
had his clothes torn into shrcds and his
flesh lacerated by the claws of the beasts.

Jim POulder'S Mistake.


There were only two vacant seats in
She car, and at Pankehap station two
persons came in to FIJI them One of
these was an old man with iron-gray
hair, partly covered by q slouched felt
hat, and clad in a new suit of gray stuff
that seemed to have been made for some
one else. With him was young and
pretty girl. The observer would set
down the two for well-to-do farmer
ap1 his daughter. The man looked
ground. The two vacant seats were on
opposite sides. In one sat a young,
weIl-drcssed, self-satisfed sprig, the
space at his side occupied by a handbag
OF crocodile leather and spring over
coat. In the ether was another young
man, less stylishly dressed. The farmer
looked around, and, motioning his
@tusbter to the vacant seat, said:
+Tb erc's a place for you, Lucy" Then,
TUT ming to the young man with the
ao'tchcl he asked: ''Seat engagcd2"
The young man looked up, curlcd his
lip and said: 'AIan to fill it IL be here
presently"
''Ahl" said the farmer, cody rcmov-
ing the gripsack and overcoat, and plac-
ing them on the young mans lap; ''then
I'll occupy it until he comes" He seated
himself accordingly, while the young
~osu ulared at him.
The one on the other side looked
amused; and then, rising, said: "Iou
had better exchange seats with me, sir,
SO that the young lady and yourself will
he together"
"Thank you," WAS the farmers reply;
the exchange was made.
The two young men were evidently ac-
G,mintcd; for the courteous one said to
she other, in a low voice: Jim PoulIcr,
you made a mistake there"
II never make mistakes, Frank Boil
rog,'
The first speaker said nothing more,
but, drawing newspaper from his
pocket, ran his eye over its columns.
PouIder yawncd little and at last
said: This is too dull for yours faith
fully, James PoIlder. I'll go into the
>mohing-car and take Whit"
When he had gone, the old man
2concd over the arm of his seat toward
Boiling.
Excuse me, sir, but didn't your
friend say his name was James POuldcr?"
That is his name, sir" replied the
Young man; "but he is not exactly
friend of mine though we live in the
same place"
May inquire where he IS from"
Eyes, SIT; Careysburg."
"Son of Peter b. Poulder, the pork
PACKER there, isn't he"
Yes, sir"
His father should deal with him. 1t
would be in his line"
''Oh, papa" said reproachtul voice.
1T Is fact, Lucy"
The old man entered into conversation
with the younger, and soon learned that
Frank Boiling had been engaged 1or
some time IN the stndy OF the Ia"' ouC
That his father having met WIN reVerSeS'
and having two younger daughters to
educate, the young man set out to sup
port himself, abandoning his law studies,
and taking a situation as salesman at "
country store IN Grlilton'
My place IS within mile OF Grl1tton,"
